How do you keep the BT Extruders from chewing up the filament with XOL Metrix

[slate mountain]

I have calibrated lane to hub one each lane several times, calibrated bowden length while holding TN from expanding until it reaches the tool head. When switching between tools the lane loads starts to extrude at the poop position then either or both toolhead extruder or BT extruders grind and once that happens BT chews into the filament then causes load/unload issues. Having challenges getting this to be reliable. <@&1304550334839918672>

Please post your current configs

also, did you calibrate your extruder rotation distance before hooking up AFC

(but after you built xol-metrix)

[slate mountain]

I didn't recalibrate rotation distance since it was an existing XOL just modified it to Mextrix.

i would double check that first, with AFC disabled.

I'm not as familiar iwth Xol, personally

so hopefully some other <@&1304550334839918672> can take a looka nd provide a suggestion

Ok thank you!

Thinking of switching to FilamAtrix since I have my old tool heads with CW2 or Galileo 2, still have both. If I do Galileo 2 do I just need to print the cutting arm, front_body_g2e and rear_body_g2e ?

correct

Have you checked the buffer configuration? QUERY_BUFFER BUFFER=Turtle_1 can do that. See https://github.com/ArmoredTurtle/BoxTurtle/blob/main/Initial_Startup.md#turtleneck-buffer

Or if you have a newer AFC software version, in AFC.cfg add:

...
enable_sensors_in_gui: True```

Will display all turtleneck sensors in the UI.

Actually, I should have asked if the buffer was in the middle or fully to one end or the other?

[slate mountain]

Yes the buffer seems to be functioning correctly. I already have the gui set to true and keep watch there as well.

The buffer is normally compressed/middle until it reaches the tool head extruder then expands.
